“We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature. We’ve lost our connection to ourselves.”

I was NOT psychologically prepared to read Eisenstein’s screenplay for Ivan the Terrible. There’s a “deleted scene” where Fyodor Basmanov chases a Zemshchina girl who (understandably) thinks he’s trying to sexually assault her until he says “no, I just want your earrings,” then he takes her earrings and and holds them up (I’m going to say probably to his own ears), then his father comes in and takes them away. This emotionally destroyed me for reasons I can’t fully articulate.
